Research teams

The Regaal team is interested in the shareholder, partnership and territorial governance of agri-food companies, in relation to consumer behaviour and marking policies. It also raises the question of the dynamic relationship that exists between the governance, strategy and performance of these companies or networks of companies and focuses in particular on SMEs in their strategic choice of adaptation in relation to dominant players (multinationals for example) or avoidance, and by the construction of alternative channels.

The team's work revolves around two main questions, one more qualitative and exploratory, which deals with the dynamics of standards and policy development, the other more normative, in terms of the effectiveness of the systems. This work is based on contributions from economists, sociologists, anthropologists and politicians. The Copaad team is the result of the merger in September 2014 of two former teams from UMR Moisa (Maisa and Normes)

The team is interested in the evolution of agricultural production methods in a context of trade globalization. On the one hand, it studies the consolidation of the supply of agricultural products by a small number of agricultural firms; on the other hand, it highlights changes in agricultural household activity systems as a persistent and adaptable form of production organization. Finally, it questions the sustainability of the forms of recomposition of agriculture by taking into account the pressure on the resources they induce.
